HELLO NOISEBRIDGE<br><br>this is anna anthropy. i&#39;ve made videogames for events like the eurogamer expo and giant robot&#39;s game over/continue. my associate jackson perkins (<a href="mailto:jackaperkins@gmail.com">jackaperkins@gmail.com</a>) and i want to run an event like that at noisebridge. think something like what babycastles (<a href="http://babycastles.com">http://babycastles.com</a>) is doing in new york: a party space where people can get together, talk, and play some games they might not otherwise have encountered in a social space.<br>
<br>the games are new games, freeware games by bedroom hackers, designed (or reappropriated) for a social setting. games like nidhogg, norrland, winner vs. loser and das uberleben - games for multiple players with fast turn-arounds, and maybe some other games that we just want people to see. (see links below for videos of the games i&#39;m talking about.) noisebridge will be a room of computers, each running a game, with people walking around, playing and watching and meeting new folks.<br>
<br>we don&#39;t have an exact date in mind yet: a couple months from now? what this is is a call for donations: we need computers, mostly, and usb controllers. the computers don&#39;t have to be new. the games we plan to run don&#39;t have very severe hardware requirements. if we can get enough computers, we&#39;d like to run a few more interesting mame games on some of them too. and we&#39;d like to run some really eye-catching four-player game on the projector.<br>
<br>so: if you have a computer, controllers, time, suggestions or advice that you would like to volunteer, please contact me at <a href="mailto:collectfruit@gmail.com">collectfruit@gmail.com</a> or jack at <a href="mailto:jackaperkins@gmail.com">jackaperkins@gmail.com</a>. also feel free to suggest a name for the event. (any name that makes reference to the game &quot;portal&quot; will be ridiculed before it is dismissed.) and let&#39;s make this a huge, wonderful event! we&#39;re of course going to use the event to promote noisebridge and collect donations for the space.<br>
